The sleeves start the same way on double-pointed needles — rib, a round with 4 (2, 8, 8) stitches increased evenly, then the same border — and go on in chocolate, with 2 stitches increased under the arm 6 (7, 5, 6) times: right after the border and then every 8th round. Body and sleeves are joined for the round yoke, a 40-round chart with five decrease rounds, from 160 (176, 192, 208) stitches to 60 (66, 72, 78); the smaller sizes leave out marked rounds. The neckline is one round with decreases and 5 cm of K1, P1 rib on the 4.5 mm circular, bound off loosely; it is not folded. Last, the underarm stitches are grafted together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesign: Guðrún Gunnarsdóttir Michelsen — pattern from Lopi No. 30 (no. 19), Ístex.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ístex","offers":[{"title":"English","offer_id":67601870880821,"sku":"PAT-EN-AUSTUR","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1662\/1057\/files\/L30_19_Austur_1-585x798_417ecdfe-83b7-45ab-9699-48f952d8d0c2.jpg?v=1791019935","url":"https:\/\/icelandicstore.is\/products\/austur-reindeer-yoke-sweater-knitting-pattern","provider":"The Icelandic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
